Explore "The Chink in the Armour" by Marie Belloc Lowndes on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There is something very bewildering and distressing in the sudden / disappearance or even the absence of a human being to whose affectionate / and constant presence one has become accustomed. And as the hours went / by, and no letter or message arrived from Anna Wolsky, Sylvia became / seriously troubled, and spent much of her time walking to and from the / Pension Malfait.
Surely Anna could not have left Paris, still less France, without her / luggage? All sorts of dreadful possibilities crowded on Sylvia's mind; / Anna Wolsky might have met with an accident: she might now be lying / unidentified in a Paris hospital.
